Steve's 64 car became Dave Lebrun's 67 A/SA car which he sold to Jim Harris who still has it. The second go around with Ken came years later. That 69 Car that Kevin has sat in one of my garages for about 7 years before they sold it to Ken. FYI, Thanks Joe.

Joe..........Yes you are right the 64 for the 74 vette like I said it was a long time. I know the camaro sat in Steve C garage for some time didn't know it sat in yours. Have a great xmas and a good new year.

Pete Biondo drove it while Anthony owned it. Then Anthony sold it to Kevin.[/QUOTE}

It started with Dennis Banach he sold it to Bob at Bobs Automotive. Bob sold it to Steve Calabro and Steve Ficcaci they sold it to Ken. That car has had a road trip Lol. Also Dennis first build it into a race car it was oringel SS 350......4 speed car .

Wow! What a history lesson !LOL I miss that car to this day ! Dennis C.didn`t you end up with the flat hood from the car after I sold it to Bob?
BTW the car was Blue with a black vinyl top when I got it from the original owner.
1st. win for that car was class at the 1975 Summernationals G/SA

I got the hood was painted the same as the car and the two barrel intake that didn't work when you guys tried it. Lot of fun back then long time ago.

Well, the orange 69 Camaro Kevin has was at one time blue, which car it was and who owned it is something I'll leave to others to decide. I know Steve Calabro was the first person to tell me it was once his, or his and Joe Fasano's. I think one of the Ficaccis, Mike or Dave, or maybe even Steve, also told us about the car's past. Anthony Bertozzi told us that he had bought it from Ken Bugaj. Ken has also contacted us and told us it once belonged to him. Also, both Arnold Greene and Mike Heintz told us some of the history of the car.

In any event, it has two class wins at St Louis, a runner up at the 2011 St. Louis race, and tow class wins at the Bowling Green SportsNational Open.

This Wally Clark (FJ Smith) built SS/GT camaro was one of the first 5 GT cars ever built.
Is this the same car (see pic of Joe Scott's camaro below)?
Where did it go after Wally had it?

[thomas sheehan]

How about this one?
I was told (correct me if you know something different) that this was the first SS/GT car
to hit the track back in the 80's..... Dick Henry (Ed Quay built).



Is this the same car??? (Ron Morehead)

I sold this Corvette after the 1977 season to a guy in Chicago. I know it was still in Super Stock in 1979. Does anyone know what happened to the car? Thanks

[Mark Yacavone]

Thanks for this thread, Tommy

I built this 66 wagon in 1977 from a street car that was given to me by my lettering guy, the late Billy Mocarsky.
Later that year ,with the de-factoring of the 283, and the addition of a third seat, I was able to put the thing into R/Stock ,were it was capable of running under the index just about anywhere.For those guys new here, that was a really good situation back then.
We set the R/Stock record three times in 78, won the Orlando WCS and finished 3rd in the division.
By 1979, I decided to try Super Stock again. I converted the car to a powerglide for it's new owner, Frank (The Wagonmaster) Tantillo.
The second pic it at the 79 Winternationals. (recently forwarded to me by Dave Kommel)
Frank painted the car two tone blue, and finished 2nd in the Connecticut Dragway points that year.(1980)
I think I know where the car is now, but maybe Gary or Barry Parker can fill us in from 81 forward.

In comments of a Bob Rice pic (of the car as Dick Henry built it) on Facebook, Ron Morehead confirmed to me that this is the same car. I'm pretty sure it was the first GT Camaro built, but not sure if it's the first GT car period ....

I would say yes.
Did anybody notice the headers coming out at the FRONT bumper ?
He ran this car at Kinston Dragstrip when it was originally built...
